Great Gatsby inspires Brooks Brothers collection

Brooks Brothers 1920s’ archives inspired the costumes in The Great Gatsby. The company manufactured the outfits conceived by costume designer Catherine Martin for the Baz Luhrmann film, which hits theatres in May. In the meantime, dapper flapper fans can indulge in a new collection by the company based on those designs that includes variations of the pink Gatsby suit, or Nick Carraway’s bottle-green shawl-collared cardigan. There are also wingtips, bow ties, a neckwear collection and boater hats, along with tuxes and suiting.

Ossington Ave. clothing boutique Jonathan + OliviaJonathan + Olivia, along with notable Toronto designers, restaurateurs and celebrities, have launched This is West Queen West, a clothing drive that runs from Monday, April 22 through Sunday April 28 in aid of their neighbour, CAMH. Customers who bring in an item of gently used clothing that’s appropriate for patients in-treatment or for post treatment interviews will receive 10 per cent off their purchases in the store. Keep track of the neighbourhood’s sartorial generosity with a changing display in the shop’s windows featuring items to be donated to the Suits Me Fine boutique on-site at CAMH.
